Minimum inlet pressure - NPSHA<br />

Calculation of the inlet pressure "H" is recommended in<br />

these situations:<br />

• The liquid temperature is high.<br />

• The flow is significantly higher than the rated flow.<br />

• Water is drawn from depths.<br />

• Water is drawn through long pipes.<br />

• Inlet conditions are poor.<br />

To avoid cavitation, make sure that there is a minimum<br />

pressure on the suction side of the pump. The<br />

maximum suction lift "H" in feet can be calculated as<br />

follows:<br />

H = p b – NPSHR – H f – H v – H s<br />

P b = Barometric pressure in feet absolute.<br />

(Barometric pressure can be set to 33.9 feet<br />

at sea level. In closed systems, p b indicates<br />

system pressure in feet.)<br />

NPSHR = Net Positive Suction Head Required in feet.<br />

(To be read from the NPSHR curve at the<br />

highest flow the pump will be delivering).<br />

H f = Friction loss in suction pipe in feet.<br />

(At the highest flow the pump will be<br />

delivering.)<br />

H v = Vapor pressure in feet.<br />

(To be read from the vapor pressure scale.<br />

"H v " depends on the liquid temperature<br />

"T m ").<br />

H s = Safety margin = minimum 2.0 feet.<br />

If the "H" calculated is positive, the pump can operate<br />

at a suction lift of maximum "H" feet.<br />

If the "H" calculated is negative, an inlet pressure of<br />

minimum "H" feet is required.<br />

Note: In order to avoid cavitation never select a pump<br />

whose duty point lies too far to the right on the NPSHR<br />

curve.<br />

Always check the NPSHR value of the pump at the<br />

highest possible flow. The NPSHR curves can be found<br />

in the curve charts on pages 24 to 94.<br />

Maximum inlet pressure<br />

The table on page 18 states the maximum permissible<br />

inlet pressure. However, the actual inlet pressure +<br />

maximum pump pressure (at no flow) must always be<br />

lower than the values stated in the table on page 16.<br />

The pumps are pressure-tested at a pressure of 1.5<br />

times the values stated on page 16.<br />
